But there are still some issues. Every player have some flaws and does things better than the other. I'm still looking for *the* player. Perhaps some of you have a solution? *Xine* Isn't it possible to compile it with decss-support (libdvdread?)? Got poor audio-output. I get this scratchy metallic sound. Due to css I've not tested xine very much. *Videolan* Nice one with decss. Sound, as poor as Xine though. I can only get "widescreen" display (eg. 2.35:1/16:9/1.78:1/whatever ratio) when running in xvideo-mode in window. Do I choose another video-output or go fullscreen I loose the widescreen. Would be nice to keep the widescreen aspect i fullscreen as well. *mplayer* This is the latest I've tried. Nice mpeg2-decoding, very few framedrops (compared to the other two). I was about to buy myself a new soundboard due to Xine and Videolan, until I tried mplayer. *NO* artifacts, so my board isn't faulty! wee ;) mplayer have *almost* become my prefered dvd-player if it wasn't for one big showstopper: I can't select another audio-stream, I'm stuck with whatever default mplayer finds (directors comment, swedish dubbing whatever). No matter what stream I try to set with -aid I get no sound. And then there is the same widescreen issues as with vlc with a twist. If I run mplayer with -gui I loose widescreen, but it still decodes for widescreen, so I'm getting long faces. Anyone got solutions to some of my problems?
